Special to the Indianapolis journal
lister jackson. at Macon. Ga, the other day, ex-
tolllrg the virtues of jeff Davis, have fallen
upon no one unfortunately as Secretary La
mar. 1t will be rememb ered that Jackson de-
clared jeff Davis was the true President. and
that he was loyal and patriotic Lincoln:
1t was only difference of section of country
as to the patriotism. etc. Secretary Lamar Is
the accepted choice of the Presidents for the va
cancy on the bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States. and here it has been believed
that the Secretary was likely at any moment to
be called to the bench.
Now, the tables seem to DO turning. It looks
as though somebody other than Mr.. Lamar
would sit on the vacant chair. It will be re-
membered that short time before Mr.. Lamar
retired from the Senate he sprang to his feet to
defend the South, which was arraigned on
various charges political, and that during his re-
marks, which were very warm, he spoke of the
President of the Confederacy. Those who heard
the speech of Mr.. Lamar. as it delivered on
the floor of the Senate recall similarity between
1t and the remarks of Mr.. jackson at Macon the
other day, and believe that the ex-Mnister at
tampted to initiate the strain of MIR. Lamar
Since the country has generally expressed so
much disapproval of the eulcgy OF Jackson upon
DAVIS at Macon, and much has been said OF
the similarity between the opinions of these two
men upon the late Confederacy aud its head,
Lamar stock, so far as it went for tho Supreme
bench. has declined very materially.

Teaching the Indian Language.

WASHINGTON. Nov. IA delegation headed
by ex-Justice Strong, representing the American
Bible Society, the Mohonk conference and sew
eral religious and missionary societies, called
upon the President to-day to urge upon him q
modification of the order of the Interior Depart
ment prohibiting the use of the Indian Ian
guage in the Indian schools. The delegation
stated to the President that the broad Interpre-
taton given to the order had practically put an
end to the religious instruction of the Indians,
and that several mission schools had been COM
PEELED to suspend their work in consequence.
The Presidents reply was entirely satisfactory
to the delegation. He said that it was not in
tended that the order should be so literally con-
strued as to forbid religious instruction in the
Indian language, and that the recent annual re-
port of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs had
